"New Anime comments" , posted Sat 2 Mar 13:16

Where already a month into the new anime season, so I'd thought I'd offer up some comments on the new Anime that has just been released (and has been *cough* Digisubbed *cough*). So far the Winter season this year has been top notch, with lots of anime I've been enjoying...

Leading of the list is Full Metal Panic, the best show of the new year. A nice mix of High School Comedy/Military drama with dashes of Sci-Fi and mecha included. And the main female character reads Douglas Adams (^^). Extremly well animated and with a nice pacing, this is an anime worth checking out..

Didn't care for Onegai Teacher for some reason. It has all the elments I know I like, and a good voice cast...But I didn't get into it.

Now Kanon, OTOH, sucked me into it's story rather quickly. Nicely animated, and seems to have more of a mysterious story to it then most Date sim animes...the Eternal Fighters Dojin game is based of this too, so you can learn about the characters too!

Rah-Xephon seems to be filling the shoes of the years weird and mysterious Robot Anime. The plot is a bit murky, but the visuals are great and the mecha design is truly unique. And Yohko Kanno is doing some music, (and Maaya Sakamoto singing the op) so it's worth a watch.

Aquarian Age is an anime based of a popular CCG in Japan. It has lots of nice, cute looking girls and a very intresting plot so I've found it a worthwhile watch as well...

As for the rest, well I didn't like them all that much. Just didn't appeal to me...

Mmmmm... there are Kanon fans...
I thought that only those who played the original game would be sucked into the anime. I hate how there's a two week gap between ep 7 and ep 8... I really NEEED to see how they'll end Mai's part of the story...
Yuuichi Tackle!

It seems that they'll skip Shiori's story though, there's only 5 episodes left after Mai's story... I wonder if they just jam every girls story into that last 5 eps though? Yuuichi would cry himself to death and go insane :D

Scryed was pretty good, but the ending was lacking. The anime really ended on ep 24, ep25 and 26 weren't needed...

Happy Lesson ep3 comes out around the same time that the TV series starts.

I dunno why, but I just seem to be a sucker for Date Sim anime. Loved To Heart, Loved Comic Part, and now I'm getting into Kanon. and I've never played those games...(Well, I played the Dojin fight games...:). I guess it helps that a Date Sim game already has a fair bit of plot, making it easier to make an anime for (Unlike fight games, for example...).

The Yuuichi tackle is fun, though...

One of the nice little jokes in the series.

Thanks for the info on the Happy Lesson 3 release date, was wondering when that would happen. Looking forward to that, and the TV series...

Hmm...Would you say the ending to Scryed was better or worse than Mahoro's ending? I know for me I wish Mahoro had ended around ep 9 or 10, as the last few eps really weren't up to par...

Kanon is actually a graphic novel. I'm surprised at your comments about it though, since I hear from a lot of people who haven't played the game that they can't understand it (which means that they assume you played the game beforehand). Some of the game was great, while other parts...well, a bit too far...

Well there is a bit of mystery in the series so far...Okay, a lot of mystery (^^), but I have hopes they'll work it out enough for a decently sastifying ending for people like me. (Who have never played the game)

Or i could be wrong, and end up lost like I did with the Tokemeki anime...^^ Still, the set up is intriguing and it is very unique for this genre of anime, so it's drawn me in...

No, haven't followed that one I'm sad to say. Most everyone that's watched it says it's a rocking anime, though...

Just saw two episodes of an anime named "Happy Lesson", it was funny (even when it cloned every other anime from Love Hina to Nadesico).

It's an OVA series?

Yes, it's an OAV series based of a Date-sim video game series in Japan. It's a pretty fun series, with the cosplay girl and Rei-chan clone being my two favorite characters.

I've heard reports that it's getting a TV series in the spring, though, so there should be more episodes coming out (I don't know when OAV Ep # 3 is coming out, though...)

Someone have seen Love Hina, or Initial D?
I like that series.And today I see a movie Jin Rho, I think that the director and creator of Cowboy Bebop has do somethin in this movie, it was great, dense in some parts, beacause is a counterspy history.

The Emperor returns from his tomb an this time It´s forever for see de best games of the Greats Capcom and the new SNK for see the truth.
